Breast asymmetry due to pectus excavatum - can I get insurance to cover?

February 15, 2018
Asked By:Ahhvictoria in Las Vegas, NV

Hi, I have fairly uneven breasts and moderate pectus excavatum. I just got my first consultation for surgery the other day and the surgeon rated them to be about 330CCs different. The smaller one is also tuberus. I also learned that my shoulders are a bit uneven because of the weight difference. Since this all technically stems from a deformity, would it be possible to have insurance cover at least a portion? How do I go about this? (I have CIGNA ppo) Advice is appreciated. Thank you!
